Our French agency groupeReflect just launched I Love Lumix, a product-based community promoting the Lumix digital camera by Panasonic on the French market. After registering on the platform, users are able to publish pictures, share tips and tricks, meet other photographers with similar interests and participate to special contests. In addition to these social networking functionalties, I Love Lumix also features exclusive content built around Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, aka the famous electronic music duo Justice who accepted to endorse the Lumix brand to support the release of the Lumix G1 in France. Users could e.g. check out backstage pictures taken by band producer Pedro Winter during the latest world tour and catch a glimpse of what was happening behind the scene.

A very good illustration of the “building brand experiences” concept that is at the heart of Emakina’s philosophy.

IBBT (Interdisciplinary Institute for Broadband Technology) is an independent research institute founded by the Flemish government to stimulate ICT innovation. It brings together companies, authorities and non-profit organizations to join forces on research and development projects like Mobixx, the spin-off I recently wrote about.

Last week, our teams launched the brand new IBBT website. As good information design was central on this project, we organised several workshops in collaboration with the CUO (Center for Usability Research) in order to optimize the user experience towards the several IBBT target groups, including the disabled (the website is compliant with the “any surfer” label).

A joint collaboration Emakina / The Reference and our third major project with Drupal as Content Management System.
